25 Vast experience across wide-ranging projects from key infrastructure to high-end residential and commercial property developments Piling Solutions Bored Piles Entails boring a hole into soil or rock to the required depth and placing reinforcement and concrete into the bored hole. Supports higher vertical column loads; widely used for high-rise buildings, bridge piers, etc. Reliable and economical solution for adverse ground conditions, especially limestone bedrock areas. Uses pre-manufactured/precast piles which are driven into the ground by hydraulic hammers Conventional method for medium rise buildings and structures. Driven Piles Jack-in-Piles Involves pre-manufactured/precast piles being jacked into the ground by exerting large force using hydraulic or mechanical jack-in machine. Creates lesser vibrations and noise vs driven piles; suited for densely-populated areas 26 BUSINESS ACTIVITY: Piling solutions

Superior technical capabilities and management in foundation services drawing on extensive experience in both piling and earthworks activities Earth Retaining Systems

Large diameter contiguous bored piles can be constructed to enable a longer cantilever structure for ease of unobstructed excavation works.

Can be installed in close proximity to existing building structure, rendering it suitable for congested areas particularly for deep basements.

Large diameter contiguous bored piles can be constructed to enable a longer cantilever structure for ease of unobstructed excavation works. Rectangular reinforced concrete walls, incorporated as permanent structure for basement walls. Can be installed in close proximity to existing building structure, rendering it suitable for congested areas particularly for deep basements. Diaphragm walls Steel sheet piled walls Commonly a temporary retaining wall, or an alternative to diaphragm walls. Also used in remediation of contaminated soils, major components in infrastructure construction (e.g. bridges, dams, port facilities) and in supporting excavation works. 27 BUSINESS ACTIVITY: Foundation services

27 Earth retaining systems among the Group s complementary services Earth Retaining Systems Lateral Support System As excavation works go deeper, a lateral support system is required to prevent excessive movements in the earth retaining systems. This is to prevent the sinking of ground surface surrounding the excavation pit, which may cause the collapse of the earth retaining system. Constructed by drilling holes through the soil according to the required depth. The holes are filed with cement ground. After the cement ground has gained strength, the steel strands are stressed against an anchor block, which is constructed along the retaining system. Ground Anchors Steel strutting Steel H sections are used to brace the excavation pit by extending over the excavation. The steel section will be supported by vertical H beams or king post (central vertical post). Multiple layers of steel strut are installed for deep excavation. 28 BUSINESS ACTIVITY: Foundation services (cont)

29 Able to undertake top-down and bottom-up construction works for substructure and basement construction works Substructure & Basement Construction Works Substructure works consist of pile cap, basement floors and columns up to the ground floor level. Pile Caps Thick concrete slab constructed above a group of installed piles and acts as support to column that supports superstructure Basement Slabs Reinforced concrete floor where its thickness depends on the load it will bear Conventional Construction (Bottom-Up) Method Piles are exposed and sliced off before the pile cap is casted. Casting is performed on the lowest basement, column and subsequent basement slab in this order. Work sequence starts from the lowest slab before progressing upwards Top-Down Construction Structure is constructed downwards from ground level; and is preferable in congested areas with shorter construction periods. Enables utilization of upper floor slab as lateral support to the retaining system, omitting the construction of ground anchors or steel struts. 30 BUSINESS ACTIVITY: Foundation services (end)
